Condition
The canvas has not been lined. It is a little buckled on its stretcher. The surface is a little dirty. A few minor flakes of pigment have been lost near both center edges as well as to the top center of where the two peaches meet. Very minor frame abrasion is visible to the extreme outer edges though the paint layer remains stable. Under UV light: one possible stroke of inpainting is present at the very center of the composition. Overall the work is in good condition.
